You meet someone, you find an "inevitable attraction" and get married. Nothing new there, right? Well, what if your spouse is your
twin and you didn't know it?
British twins who had been separated at birth learned they were related only after they had become husband and wife, a senior British lawmaker said. The marriage has been annulled.
"They were never told that they were twins," he said during the Dec. 10 debate on a law covering human fertility and embryology. They had been adopted by separate families and "met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation."
No further details about the couple have emerged, and it is not known when the marriage took place or how long they were together before they discovered the truth.
I'm still trying to figure out why it's weird. It's weird to bone your sister, but if you didn't know? Wouldn't it only get weird if their kids sprouted a third arm on their forehead?
